York

We took a trip to York Friday, June 27th. It was an if-y day out there with clouds, sun, and drizzle of rain. But we pack our umbrells and the kids wellies (rain boots) and headed out the door. It turned out to be fun. We saw the ruins of a castle which had a very steep staircase to the top. It was a great view of York once you were at the very top of the castle though.


We then walked around the city and visited "The Shambles" old homes were they used to slaughter animals and remains of the animals would flow down the street. Nice huh?!?
We also visited a church which is now an art gallery were they had and exhibit of about memories and lost loves. The kids floated a candle down the stream, it was pretty.




We also saw our 1st farmers market. Been here almost 6 months hadn't seen one yet. It was so nice. Huge too. They served baked good, produce, clothes, plants, hot food (like sausages, hamburgers, etc) and their was a lot of cheese! We got a really good loaf of bread and a few cookies. Very yummy!!
